The proscribed PREPAK has denied having any connection with the monetary demand on Huirem Dhananjoy of Hiyangthang Bazar by a person who identified himself as activist of PREPAK working under the command of Erei, which appeared in local media on November 18 .
A statement issued by district finance officer of PREPAK, Erei Khuman expressed that the inability to apprehend the individual with bullet in his possession at such highly guarded place indicated the involvement of security personnel in collecting money in the name of the underground.

It noted that several lives have been lost in fake encounters that actually were staged by the security forces who are motivated to commit the crime just for jealousy to get their money with them.
The statement cautioned the people to remain alert against the existence of such impostors.
It also urged the people to pass information of such kind to PREPAK.
The statement also extolled Huirem Dhananjoy for making the matter public without any fear.
